But do you have any heroes? What&#8217;s the difference? Idols are people we say we &#8216;adore&#8217; because they are famous, or rich, or good looking, or because they have amazing talents, or special abilities perhaps we wish we could have. Heroes are people who are willing to live and die for what they believe.<\/p>\n<p><i>Polycarp of Smyrna: The Man Whose Faith Lasted<\/i> tells the story of a hero. He was a follower of Jesus Christ. He loved and served his Lord for over eighty years. And from the beginning to the end &#8211; his faith lasted. This large hardback book for children, from the pen of Sinclair Ferguson, is beautifully illustrated by Allison Brown.
